Coffinworm Assistance Suggestions?

Hi!

Was thinking about the assistance composition for coffinworm (which i am about to start with after my current anchor is completed). My initial thought was something like the following:

Press: Chins + incline DB press
Bench: DB rows, DB flyes
Deadlift: Lounges + abwheel
Squat: Leg press + standing crunches

I didnt want to add any backraises due to the amount of squats and deadlifts in the cycles. But i have a hard time deciding on assistance choises (without going overboard with the rep count) so i would appreciate suggestions and / or illustration of what you use yourselves.

Particularly around weeks 1+2 of the Leaders I didn’t do much at all, just a few pull-aparts, face-pulls, curls. As Jim says you have to be very smart about the assistance particularly if training four days per week.

Your suggestions seem fine although I personally wouldn’t bother leg pressing in weeks 1+2, you’re already doing a lot of squatting and deadlifting on back-to-back days twice per week!

And how they feel the following day! No worries man, enjoy!
